| UniProt functional annotation for Q96HC4 | |||
| UniProt code: Q96HC4. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | May play an important role in the heart development by scaffolding PKC to the Z-disk region. May play a role in the regulation of cardiomyocyte expansion. Overexpression promotes the development of heart hypertrophy. Contributes to the regulation of dendritic spine morphogenesis in neurons. May restrain postsynaptic growth of excitatory synapses (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with various PKC isoforms through the LIM domains. Interacts (via LIM domains) with SIPA1L1. Interacts (via PDZ domain) with actin and ACTN1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62920}. Cell junction, synapse, presynapse {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62920}. Cell junction, synapse, postsynapse {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62920}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62920}. Note=Detected both at presynaptic and postsynaptic sites, exclusively at excitatory synapses, but not inhibitory synapses, in hippocampal neurons. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62920}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Heart and skeletal muscle specific. Expression is commonly increased in the brain of patients with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10429367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16044170, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16213469}. | |
